David first shocked the sporting world by announcing his retirement from Test and One Day International cricket in June last year.
And last month, he then made the emotional decision to retire from from one-day international cricket in the lead-up to his final Test match.
David made a match-winning 57 runs in his final innings to help secure victory at the SCG and wrap up a 3-0 series win over Pakistan to give him the perfect farewell from red-ball cricket.
The veteran said he was ‘comfortable’ the time was right to conclude his ODI career also following ‘s World Cup triumph in India late last year.
He flagged the decision would create opportunities to play franchise cricket overseas and will not rule out a comeback if needs an opener for the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025.
‘It was a decision that I was very, very comfortable with. To win in India, from where we were, was absolutely amazing,’ he said.
‘The team, not just under the leadership of Patty but the coach Andrew McDonald himself, everything’s just so calm and relaxed inside the team.

‘We go out there, we’re adults, we back ourselves to train to the best of our ability and then go out there and perform. There’s never any added pressure, it’s the same-old, come in, get what you have to get done. We love winning.
‘When we lost two games in a row in India, the bond just got stronger with each other and it’s not by fluke or by chance that we were able to get to where we were.
‘The heroics of Maxi, the captaincy and the skills and execution of the way that we played against India was phenomenal, and not to dismiss the Kolkata semi-final as well.’
‘I know the Champions Trophy is coming up… if I’m playing decent cricket in two years’ time and if they need someone, I’ll be available,’ he added.
